BUTTER-WORKER.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, S. H. WADE, of Montgomery Centre, in the county ofFranklin, and State of Vermont, have invented a new and improvedButter-Worker; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilledin the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which--Figure 1 is an end View of my improved butter-worker.

Figure 2 iso. vertical longitudinal section of the same, taken throughthe line a: a, fig 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved machine forworking butter, cheap, simple in constuct-ion, durable, not liable toget out of order, and which will do its work quickly and thoroughly; andit consists in the combination of the pressers, sliding-beam, andoperating levers with each other and with the frame of the machine, andin the combination of the pivoted table and sliding frame with eachother and with the frame of the machine; the whole being constructed andarranged as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the frame of the machine, which should be made of such a heightthat the machine can be conveniently operated. The top a of the frame Ais a close platform, sloping slightly towards the forward end, wherethere is formed a hole, closed with a plug, for drawing oil" thebuttermilk or water when desired. The sides of the frame A that riseabove the surface of the platform a, are grooved longitudinally, asshown in figs. 1 and 2, for the reception of the tongues of the slidingframe 13. From the centre of the frame B projects a pin 0, to which thetable D is pivoted, by having a socket formed in its lower side for thereception of the said pin, as shown in fig. 2. The pivoted table D maybe made polygonal in form, or round, as may be desired; but I prefer tomake it polygonal, as that form enables the presscrs to be worked closerto the sides of the said table. The sides of the table D project upward,so as to form a rim to confine the butter while being worked, and alsoto confine the water or brine when the butter is worked in that manner.It also has a hole through its bottom, atthe forward side, stopped witha plug, through which the water or brine may be drawn elf, when desired,or which may be left open, allowing the buttermilk or brine to flow offas it is worked from the butter. E are the pressers, one or more ofwhich are attached to the lower ends of the arms F, by which they areconnected to the sliding beam G. The prcsscrs E may be rigidly attachedto the ends of the arms F, or they may be so attached as to have aslight movement upon their points of attachment. The ends of the beam Gslide up and down in grooves in the vertical posts a attached to thesides of the frame A. H is a lever, one end of'which is pivoted to oneof the posts a", and the middle part of which is pivoted to the middlepart of the sliding beam G by a pin or bolt passing through the saidbeam and through a slot in the said lever, as shown infig. 1. I is alever, one end of which is pivoted to the upwardly projecting end of thepost a, and its middle part is connected to the end of the lever'H bythe connecting-rod J. K is a handle attached to the side of the pivotedtable D, for convenience in operating it while working the butter, sothat a difi'erent part of the butter may be operated upon by the pressesat each stroke.

What I claim as new, and desire'to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the pressers E, sliding beam G, and operatinglevers H and J, with each other and with the frame of the machine,substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose setforth.

2. The combination of the pivoted table 1) and sliding frame 13 witheach other, and with the frame of the machine, substantially as hereinshown and described and for the purpose set forth.

S. H. WADE.
